kite releases

What's Changed

Security Fix

This release includes an important security fix for API key authentication.

Affected versions: v0.7.0-v0.10.0

We recommend all users upgrade to this version or later.

Resources And UI

• Added a new resource overview dashboard
• Added a user-controlled display scale setting.

AI And Terminal

• Fixed AI thinking/reasoning content passthrough for OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible providers.
• Fixed log viewer ANSI color handling and backend log line buffering so colored logs render more reliably.

Configuration And Deployment

• Fixed Helm SQLite PVC existingClaim support so the chart mounts an existing claim instead of always generating or using the chart-managed PVC.
• Set analytics default to disabled in the persisted general settings schema.

Fixes And Hardening

• Resource event queries now filter by involved object UID to avoid showing stale events from older objects with the same name.
• Updated Go, docs, and frontend dependencies, including pgx, go-ntlmssp, PostCSS, and frontend package updates.

What's Changed

Configuration And Deployment

• Add GitOps-friendly configuration via KITE_CONFIG_FILE for super user, clusters, OAuth, LDAP, and RBAC configuration.

see docs https://kite.zzde.me/config/config-file.html

Authentication And Access Control

• Added a Password Login toggle so admins can disable username/password login when LDAP or OAuth is used.
• Improved OAuth compatibility with empty scopes, nested data user-info responses, and additional subject extraction behavior.
• Fixed namespace filtering in global search so search results follow the same RBAC rules as namespace access.
• Fixed RBAC handling when Kite is served under a base path.

Resources And UI

• Added PodDisruptionBudget support, including list/search/sidebar integration and related resource discovery between Pods and PDBs.
• Implemented real node drain behavior with cordon/eviction support and returned drain warnings.
• Resource apply now supports multiple YAML documents in a single request.
• Improved resource table layout, filtering, refresh controls, column preferences, and batch delete progress feedback.
• Added admin-published global sidebar defaults so admins can publish or clear a shared sidebar layout.

AI And Terminal

• Polished the AI Chat UI with clearer composer, history, message, tool-call, and structured-input handling.
• Improved terminal, log streaming, and WebSocket handling around cluster context and base paths.
• Added AI assistant documentation with screenshots and permission guidance.

Fixes And Hardening

• Added a friendlier CRD-not-installed error state instead of showing a generic load failure.
• Fixed ResourceTemplate edit/delete calls using undefined IDs.
• Added delete audit/resource history logging.
• Fixed CR list page and global search UI issues.
• Updated Go and frontend dependencies.
